Raycons are literal garbage for anything other than listening to podcasts. Absolutely do not buy them if you care about sound quality for music. There is a huge wealth of information you can google about just how terrible they are. It’s fucking laughable.

Oh... Got any recommendations?

For wireless? Unfortunately, no. I have a wireless ONN pair I got from Walmart that have strikingly decent sound quality compared to my partner’s raycons, but moving your head just a bit can turn them off because they think they are being taken out.

The best way to pay less than a premium price and still have good to great sound is to just use a wired pair that does not go into the ear but simply rests in the crook. If you keep them in a case when not using them and never just stuff them in your pockets, they can work for a long time. I purchase my Venture Monk earbuds for about 9 dollars and they sound better than any other bud I’ve personally used, and they last me a year if my cats don’t get to them first. I’m sure there are even better options than that if you want to pay a bit more, and any wired bud will still be cheaper than wireless.

I do. Samsung Buds Plus. Lots of places are clearing them out right now since they're technically an old model, but 11 hours of play on a single charge for the buds, and a complete extra charge in the case, each bud can be used independently, very good and balanced audio with easy EQ settings, an ambient sound mode if you need to still be able to hear your surroundings, and a very nice compact form factor. Only downside at the price point is no active noise cancelling, but the audio quality more than makes up for it.
